I think you can argue based on the quality of season 3, Veronica Mars may have been better off getting canned after season 2. I'd also suggest that the year without ASP on Gilmore Girls was one year too many.
Tru Calling lasted about a season too long. The pity there, of course, was that it actually got to the point of executing the premise pretty well within the last 8 episodes or so (the last of the first season and the whole second season).

Wow, I couldn't disagree more. That show was still golden in its final season, and it probably could have gone on for at least a few more if you ask me.
Sorry to go off-topic but good lord why do people find it the funniest show ever? Scrubs, The Larry Sanders show & newsradio-now those are the funniest most brilliant show on TV.
The Simpsons
Law & Order (original)

Friends is the biggest offender. I can find something in a majority of episodes that was done before on Seinfeld.

STILL, as the old cliche goes, it was better than most sitcoms on at the time.
